Some atlas turnouts don't leave enough room for the inside of the wheel flanges to pass the gaurd rail and the wing rail of the frog without "riding up" on top of one or the other.The six wheel trucks make it more of a problem, You can file the outside of the gaurd rail(the side next to the...

Ha cab, Just send your request via Privite Message to the Mod. of the forum the posts are in, I'm sure they will help you when they have time.

Ha Bob, You think I could borrow him, I have some issues he could help me with :D

Dave, IMHO here's no way your going to use enough hydrocal on HO structures to cause a weight problem.

I think it's finished when you take the wrecking bar too it!

That cool Frank, I didn't know what A&P stood for. Are they still around. They used to be here in Ga. but I haven't seen one in a long time.

Good lookin' saltbox Ed.

Ha Xavier, The A units faced opposite ways so they didn't need to be turned for a return trip. All that is required was for the train to be coupled to the other end of the loco's and the crew moving to the led loco.

Will this be on the test? :D

Ha Fred, That's a little TO MUCH realism! :eek:

Ha Xavier, Some of the features that make them "better" are, all wheel electrical pick-up, all wheel drive, a can motor with flywheels, DCC ready, much finer details etc. The lower price stuff may have some of these but not many. For example I have a $20 Bachmann GP-50 that is all wheel drive...
